Sigma hasn't been able to build a general purpose camera to save their
life.
RIcoh has a history of just shuttering divisions that don't make money.
They folded their own SLR production before. Let's hope they don't do
that again.
What would Sigma do if they bought the Ricoh imaging division, put their
proprietary lens mount and the Fovion chip into a K-3 body? Great
ergonomics terrible performance in every other way and a lens mount that
never took off. Hooray!

Not good long term. But I figure I'm fine with what I have for the

Yeah, I'm in the same boat.
There is a lot to like about Nikon. If they had in body image
stabilization, I'd probably be shooting Nikon rather than Pentax. I
also often envy the range of lenses and third party gear available for
them.
I could see a nice synergy if Sigma were to buy Pentax.
